-1E COT AT THE FOOT OF THE uILI

IE COT AT THE FOOT OF THE IIILl
lerc's mansion OF stone at tho top 0
the hill,
With beautiful gardens around,
lere rarcst eXotics, in gorgeous dyes,
phro' all the long winter abound.
; floors are inlaid with mosaic designs
It's windows are smothcred in lace,
ind treasures of art, in marble or oil,
Fill every available space.
It tho foot Of the hill is dear little cot
Embowered in clambering vines;
.tound doorway and windows tho swee
climbing roso
With tho fragrant Madeira cntwlncs.
Tho sunbcams paint pictures all over th'
walls,
And in front is my small Garden-plot,
Whore the cold-fashionod flowers, in brigh
flaming tints,
Shed perfume around the dear spot.
N the beautiful house at the top of the
hill
Lives lady so stately and fair;
5atins and velvets her figure is robed;
In the braids Of her soft dusky hair
lean radiant jewels that simmer and
flash
Like the star-points ashine in the sky
And yct-her red lips seem just ready to
part
And give vent to heart-broken sigh.
At the foot of the hill in my little white
cot,
The hours pass swiftly away;
With my everyday duties and round OF
small cares,
am happy and busy all day.
In my pretty pink dress and with un-
adorned hair,
At even a walk to the stile,
70 wait for my husband returning from
work,
And to give him kiss and smile.
The lady who lives at the top OF the hill
Has her carriage, her pony to ride;
And often she drives past the door of my
cot,
But her husband is neer by her side.
And often she meets US, my husband and
me,
Going home thro' the long shady lane,
And her beautiful features, SO naughty
and cold,
Contract in q spasm of pain.
All, the house at the top of the hill is &
gem
But it cannot compare with my cot.
All the jewels and wealth OF the lady VI
there
Could not tempt me to change with he
lot.
We have love in our cot that, in sunshin
or gloom,
Our hearts with pure happiness fills.
Oh, no ! I'd not give for the wealth OF tn
world,
My cot at the foot of the hill.

The young folks had another pleasant
meeting at the Jersey house Saturday
night, and friend Hawley, as usual
assisted by his amiable protege, the
beautiful and accomplished Miss Fer
guson, made all feel at home and con
tributed in large degree to make an
old fashioned frolic of the occasion.
1t is universally conceded that Mr..
Weeks is the best singing master, as
well as the most original preacher who
ever visited this part of the country.
He is none of your sour faced meth
odist ministers, but jovial, easy tenn
pered, conscientious preacher, who is
satisfied to take human nature as he
finds it and do the best he can to i'm
prove it by example and precept.
Our weather prophet flung away his
goose bone last week and bought a
thermometer which he hung outside
our Office door one cold morning, and
when he went to look for it half an hour
later found that some public spirited
individual, fearing the instrument
might be injured by exposure to the
weather had got away with it. This
accounts for the small number of items
on the weather we have this week.
1t is rumored in Lewiston that rev.
Teter, who formerly spread the gospel
among the heather of these parts, and
who left here year ago as missionary
to central A frica, was murdered by the
natives and hung up by the heels and
roasted. He was active and jealous in
the faith, and host of warm friends up
earnestly hope that there is no truth in
the horrible rumor and that he may be
spared for long and useful life i'll his
chosen sphere.

FAIRvIEW LETTER.
FAIRvTEw, I. t., I
Feb. @ 1897 Z

reD. y, 1901.
EDITOR Press 1t is not for want of
life or energy that the many good things
OF Fairview vicinity are left out, nor is
it for want of ability, for there are many
among us capable of writing in a style
that would show to advantage the re-
sources of Fairview, and the taste and
pride with which the many homes in
this neighborhood are being built up.
1t is all because one waits for another,
or perhaps, like myself, they are too
busy with pigs, calves and colts to read
the items after they are written. Not
wishing to blame any, and hoping that
the near approach of spring-time and
blossom will bring not only the charm
of verdant hills and the jolly hosts of
feathered songsters, but relief to both
farmer and editor of the dull times that
always exist among an energetic people
while laying the foundation of cosy and
plentiful homes. A change will come.
What if it should come this summer?
The scarcity of grain would cause such
raise in the price of provisions as to
compel those who usually complain of
no market, to scold at the price of
what ought to be the product of their
own labor. Fairview has but few, If
any, chronic GROWERS, while there are
many gifted with the happy faculty of
thought to look ever upon the bright
side of the difficulties of pioneer life
and at the same time possess the will
and skill to persevere through storm
and snow and hard times for the sake
of home and future comfort in this gar
den spot of Camas prairie, as the many
substantial houses and we'll improved
farms will bear evidence.
My young friend Geo. Hanson con-
tinues at his old stand dealing in rails.
He has been hauling rails from Butcher
creek canyon for three years and is as,
cheerful as ever; he is positive that the.
only ghost he will ever see will be a
wagon loaded with rails, and takes the
ground that he who would be happy
must be busy. Another of the many
Woithy VI uoHIlOu lS D6uVeF hlQkabQ,
he too is farm builder who has had
experience in the rail business. May
his reward be liberal.
An effort to be happy is a step in the
right direction. To my mind a gath
ering of the neighbors and Crunk with
his fiddle is all that is necessary for u
night of joy and pleasure. 1 hope they
were as happy as they were welcome.
Come again.
Cassius M. Day writes from his old
home in Kansas that after thirteen
years absence he finds many changes
and realises that he is growing old
His friends received him in royal style
and he enjoys music made by young
ladies that were little bright-eyed chill
dren when he was last at home. He
says the people of Kansas live like
kings. At dinner given him by an
old friend he says that he ate until he
was unable to walk without cane.
Just what he was doing while his
friends were finding the cane he did
not say. After all there is tnge of
shade about the letter that shows love
for Idaho. J. G. h.
